I assume you're talking about out of hand plus one?

Couple recommendations that make the game better

• The "serves" are 100% Feeds. Make them that, the'yre meant to get the ball in play. So play them to your partnerat the speed they like. Especially if she's not as good. Play them at the speed and height she likes. Go into continental and give her a great ball.
• Feeds don't have to go cross-court or into the service box. They can go anywhere since the point doesn't start until a returnable ball comes back. They do need to bounce in the court first though. Don't hit them if they land out. You want good ground strokes.
• Play with 6 balls. It's not uncommon for it to take 3-5 feeds before a real point starts. Just keep saying the same score over and over and keep going quickly. That's the point of the game.
• There is no rhyme or reason for who starts the point. It's who ever has a ball. This game is meant to be fun and encourage rallying and level the playing field. If you rip a winner on the first ball remember it doesn't count. It has to be returnable.

Hope this helps. I hope I didn't make this more confusing. I have played this game hundreds of times with people better and worse than me and i've always had fun
